365 ~ 2014: Day 119
Evan's first T-ball practice! He's in the process of telling his coach that he KNOWS what he is doing and doesn't need help! Sigh. That one....

Easter Weekend Festivities!
Easter was late this year, but it was still a little chilly for late April. I'm just happy that all the snow had melted. We started our Easter celebrations on Saturday with two Egg Hunts. The first one was sponsored by the city at our local park and the second one was put on by one of the neighborhood families! Both were fun and the boys got way more candy than any one person needs to have.
After the egg hunts we did the traditional coloring of eggs. I don't think I will be letting the boys choose the method next year. We were not big fans of this system, and they got bored quickly since they could only do one at a time.
The Easter Bunny arrived and even left a basket for Mom and Dad!
After baskets it was time to get ready for all our guests; we were going to have a full house! On the menu was leg of lamb, two kinds of ham, spring peas with bacon, mashed potatoes, candied yams, rice pilaf and the green beans in a can for my mom and brother.
After our meal, we sent the kids down to the cul-du-sac so we could hide all the eggs. This is our 3rd Easter, so they know the drill - no eggs until they all smile nice for a picture!
And no event at my house is complete without a group shot!
And family portraits!

On Easter morning the boys were gracious enough to sleep until 6:45am and waited until 7am before begging us to go down and see what the Bunny brought!

365 ~ 2014: Day 116
A retake of an old classic Easter portrait!
We couldn't do the same pose since the boys are way taller than their mother now, and I regret not having my Dad bring his suit! Yes, he still has it!

The boys with the light house that Charlie's great uncle built years ago when his own grandsons were small. They are all grown and so we are so honored that they wanted to pass it down to our boys. As you can see it's as tall as Evan and even includes a real light!

Today was haircut day! Shaun decided he wanted to get a haircut like his big brother. We have never used clippers on his hair before, the look on his face was priceless!

Big brothers were at play dates today, so Daddy, Evan and I went out to lunch and then dessert at Orange Leaf. Evan made sure to get every last bit of yummyness!

365 ~ 2014: Day 106
Tonight we got to hear the song that David wrote with the Spain Brother's and his class during the Artist in Residence week at the school. The theme for his class to write about was Safety!
Stop! Look! And Listen! In everything that you do!
Because Sometimes things can go wrong
When you least expect them to!
